wilai Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Never like to lose any game, but at least we go through and never really looked like losing by two. Martinez's super strike apart, Inter never looked like getting past our defence, (don't think they had a shot after their goal). We didn't play well but were always in control and a bit unfortunate not to win after hitting the woodwork three times. Overall MoM for me was Inter's Vidal who seemed to be everywhere, but for us, TAA and VVD were both up there. A home defeat is not good, but job was done with relative ease.

wilai Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Covid in the camp but no new injuries. If I had to guess I would say VVD, Thigo and Konate could be the ones affected as they missed training yesterday???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Certainly less confident about Salah staying than I was a few days ago. I want him to stay, but I suppose if PSG pay 200m then plenty of cash to rebuild similar to when we sold Coutinho. To me it seems like his agent and the club are not getting on so well.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilai Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Congrats to Joel Matip....Premiership Player of the Month for February. In 9 years, The POTM Award has only been won 3 times by defenders......TAA x2 and VVD.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Another 3 points.???? Didn't have to get out of 2nd gear to easily turn over a struggling Brighton side. Sterner tests are to come. We started slowly as usual but soon controlled the game with Keita's energy in midfield to the fore. Matip was our star defender with a great assist for the first goal thrown in for good measure. Mane led the line well and Alisson pulled off a great instinctive save when called upon. The star was Diaz though. He showed great pace and bravery to beat Sanchez for the first goal and tormented Brighton throughout both with his skills and effort when chasing back. How Sanchez stayed on the pitch after his 'assault' is completely beyond me. At least Diaz escaped serious injury in the collision. Salah went off with a knock which is a concern...he says he is fine but he would say that as he hates missing games. Personally, I think he will be doubtful for the Arsenal game so Mane could switch to the right with Jota/Bobby coming in if needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, their goalie should have been sent off for that reckless challenge on the first goal. However, after that I found he was diving at every challenge.

He runs with the ball at pace so he will get his fair share of free kicks but accusing him of 'diving at every challenge'? Take of your City specs mate.????

So, what about 4 minutes max in the whole game. I didn't realise he went down that often when I first saw it. At 2 minutes, 2 mins 46 and 3 mins 36. I also missed the bit at 4 mins 22 where he attempted to get his own back on the goalie. My initial observation stands and TBH, stands even firmer. Thanks for that Bobster ????
